Infant Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) driven by the KMT2A::AFF1 onco-fusion is an aggressive, poor prognosis disease with few co-operative mutations. The fusion originates in utero, yet the embryonic initiating steps of disease development remain poorly understood. Here, we present a novel murine KMT2A::AFF1 model, that provides key insights into KMT2A::AFF1 pre-leukemia, relevant to human dis

Ante el incremento continuo desde 2015 del número de personas desplazadas por la fuerza y el declive de las fuentes tradicionales de financiamiento público destinadas a la ayuda humanitaria, que ha culminado con el desmantelamiento de la Agencia de Estados Unidos para el Desarrollo Internacional (USAID), ha surgido la necesidad de buscar soluciones innovadoras para financiar las respuestas a los d

In this chapter, we explore mathematical tools for assessing the stability, convergence, and boundedness of trajectories in generally nonlinear dynamical systems. We delve into the seminal theorems introduced by A. Lyapunov which are primarily concerned with the stability of equilibrium points. The chapter progresses to discuss the extension of Lyapunov's Theory, due to LaSalle, aimed at assessing

In the effort to obtain a precise measurement of leptonic CP-violation with the ESSνSB experiment, accurate and fast reconstruction of detector events plays a pivotal role. In this work, we examine the possibility of replacing the currently proposed likelihood-based reconstruction method with an approach based on Graph Neural Networks (GNNs). As the likelihood-based reconstruction method is reason

Neutrino oscillations constitute an excellent tool to probe physics beyond the Standard Model. In this paper, we investigate the potential of the ESSnuSB experiment to constrain the effects of flavour-dependent long-range forces (LRFs) in neutrino oscillations, which may arise due to the extension of the Standard Model gauge group by introducing new U(1) symmetries. Focusing on three specific U(1)

The ability to image specific areas of the body is crucial for developing novel, non-invasive medical approaches. Nanocarriers designed for this purpose should have minimal cytotoxicity to accurately reveal internalization mechanism while also allowing for tunable localization within the cells through compositional adjustments. Cubosomes have been widely studied as carriers for imaging agents. How

5G antennas for vehicular connectivity are often mounted on the car roof to optimize signal reception. The trend of replacing metal roof with glass in modern cars opens an opportunity for embedding the 5G antennas inside the glass roof. In this work, we compare the channel gains of reference dipole, and loop antennas positioned at the roof center. Then, by considering the requirements of glass int

Om ett stelefynd från det ptolemaiska Egypten (Ptolemaios III:s tid).

This article engages critically with one of the more original and thought-provoking efforts of recent years to respond philosophically to the current predicament of the world: Thomas Lynch’s 2019 study Apocalyptic Political Theology. While agreeing with Lynch that the urgency of our times calls for more radical approaches than cautious dialogue or reformist adaptation, it nonetheless argues that a

INTRODUCTION: We investigated the natural history of the relationship between PSA at age 60 and lifetime risk of prostate cancer death in an unscreened cohort followed for 40 years, the Malmö Preventive Project. We also investigated whether percent free PSA could risk-stratify men with low PSAs.METHODS: The cohort included 1162 men aged 58-62 at blood draw in 1981-82, with 1151 deaths by December

IMPORTANCE: Repeating a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test after an elevated measurement is a guideline-recommended component of the prebiopsy workup. However, it is unclear whether certain patients can be exempted from repeat PSA testing and proceed directly to further workup.OBJECTIVE: To determine yearly PSA variability and implications of repeating an elevated PSA in the Prostate, Lung, Colo

INTRODUCTION: Inflammation is integral to wound healing; yet, its dynamics in normally healing epidermal wounds are not fully characterized. To this end, we analyzed longitudinal wound fluid samples collected from epidermal suction blister wounds in healthy volunteers.MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 48 control wounds were induced by suction blister method in 24 healthy volunteers-1 on each thigh

The emergence of antibiotic resistance necessitates effective strategies for evaluating antimicrobial agents. Bioluminescent bacteria, either naturally occurring or engineered with modified reporter genes like bacterial luciferase, provide real-time assessment of bacterial viability through light emission. We investigated the antibacterial effects of cefotaxime and doxycycline using bioluminescent

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma both involve inflammation and structural changes in the peripheral airways that are not detectable with current standard tools such as spirometry. Accurate and sensitive assessment of lung function is crucial for early diagnosis, monitoring disease progression, and guiding appropriate treatment.The overall aim of this thesis was to investigat

BackgroundAirway hyperresponsiveness (AHR), a key feature of asthma, leads to airway narrowing in response to bronchoconstrictor stimuli. Notably, AHR is also observed in individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The Mannitol challenge test is an indirect method to assess airway hyperresponsiveness.ObjectiveThe primary aim of this study was to explore airway hyperresponsivenes
